JUSTIN BONELLO COOKS… FOR FRIENDS
(Penguin, R260)

We like Justin Bonello’s new grown-up image: fewer hangovers mean more time for him to conjure up stuffed mushroom sandwiches; biltong, leek and asparagus quiches; and tomato lamb potjie with gnocchi, all delivered with his get-stuck-in cooking style that stays true to SA flavours.

Allison Brand and Debbie O’Flaherty are two Joburg girls who know how to throw a good party. Included are menus, recipes and loads of photographic inspiration.

JAMIE’S GREAT BRITAIN

Jamie Oliver’s latest book pays homage to his British roots and reminds us why we liked him in the first place: his food. Master feel-good classics like bacon butty, Kate & Wills’ wedding pie, jammy coconut sponge and chocolate pots.
